Famous Quotes




"Unqualified disobedience is a frequent misconception, when the rider is not only demanding but also not listening to the horse. If the horse is a strong personality the result is a notoriously resistant animal: if the horse is a submissive weak personality, it can be brainwashed into a mechanical automat, a zombie. Both are contrary to the correct dressage."

Tibor Podanyi



"One should avoid resistances, instead of trying to conquer them."

Aubert



"When, due to his conformation, one can expect only a limited extension from a horse, one should, if the movement is correct and rhythmic, evaluate this performance as high as the impressive lengthening of a horse that was born with this talent."

Kurt Albrecht



"It is not the speed, neither the number of strides, that should be valuated during the pirouette, but it the rhythm of the jumps and the maintenance of the balance during the turns."

Hans von Heydebreack ( 1866-1935 )



"Those who devote themselves to practice without science are like sailors who put to sea without a rudder or compass and who can never be certain where they are going. Practice must always be founded on sound theory."

Leonardo da Vinci



"The horse thinks he is his own master, but in fact he is my slave."

Unknown



"The arms are not just there for their beauty, they are there so that you can use them."

Nick Hartog



"Allow your horse to be brilliant. he can not be made to. It must come from within, because of his confidence and pride in himself and his respect (not fear) for his rider."

Bert Hartog ( 1943 )

LIFE'S MAZES

_________________________

Isaiah 43:1-5 (NRSV)

But now thus says the LORD,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.
For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.
Because you are precious in my sight,
and honored, and I love you,
I give people in return for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you;

The LORD says, "Do not fear, for I am with you."
- Isaiah 43:5 (NRSV)

WE went to pick apples one warm October day. My grandson, Corey, wanted to walk through the Maize Maze, a series of pathways cut into a cornfield on the farm. I told him to go ahead and that I would wait at the car. He insisted that I go through the maze with him. I told him that I would get lost if I tried to find my way through the field. Corey thought a minute and then said, "You won't be lost, Grandma. I'll be with you."
How could I be lost if Corey knew where I was?

God has made the same promise: "Do not fear, for I am with you." "It is the LORD your God who goes with you; he will not fail you or forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6). Through the maze of living, the floods of loss, the fire of trials, the desert of loneliness, I will never be lost because God is with me. How can I possibly be lost when God is with me at all times?


Prayer: Thank you, God, for your loving care and for never losing
sight of us, no matter how lost we feel. Give us courage that comes from knowing that you are with us. Amen.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
God's love is our security as we make our way through life's maze.

-- Kathleen Doutt Ward (Illinois, U.S.A.)

PRAYER FOCUS: Those lost in the maze of life
